I didn't expect to like this, but it's pretty nice! This brand's whole thing is that you only need a pea sized amount to get adequate protection. The product in reality has an extremely high SPF, and they have tested it at lower concentrations than the 2 mg/cm², so I think the claim is fairly well substantiated. Boring testing bits aside, this is a pretty nice sunscreen. No eye sting or white cast. It is decently greasy since it's all oils and no water but it's not unwearable. A decent pick, just wish it had a higher SPF. It's also worth noting that this brand does make US versions of their products, but this is the NZ version.
